Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (canned), drained
- 0.25 cup pineapple juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the pineapple juice. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined after each addition to avoid overmixing.
Fold in the drained crushed pineapple and vanilla extract with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Check the cake at the 50-minute mark to prevent overbaking.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar (optional) before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Pronto Pineapple Pound Cake!
